Who will have access to our survey results and how will they be kept confidential?
With the exception of the state-identified Performance Indicators (reported in your online Annual Report) and your CHKS Key Findings reports (displayed on our website on October 1st of the subsequent school year), your results are confidential and will be reported only to you. All external requests for data to the HKS Regional Centers will be referred back to the designated district, county, or organizational contact person. A County Office of Education (COE) must notify districts of requests for county-level data. COEs will not be granted access to district- and school-level data unless permission is obtained from each individual district. In good faith, HKS staff are required to notify interested parties that some data is available through the Annual Report website and HKS website. Results of the survey are also subject to the California Public Records Act and may be available to the public (if requested). The aggregated state-level results will be available to public and research ag
